Yahoo! News - Name Mixup Behind Air France Groundings

First they came for the Welsh Insurance agents...

via AP
"Pierre Debue, director of the French border police, said one name on the list turned out to be that of a 5-year-old child. The Wall Street Journal on Friday said two other suspected terrorists turned out to be an elderly Chinese woman and a Welsh insurance agent."

I mean, it musta been the names...right? Have you ever seen them Welsh King names? My lovely wife's family includes some of those guys. Names like Llywelyn ab Iorwerth, Madog ap Maredudd...ughh.
I can just envision the Homeland Defense computers mining away at the data, then one of these names show up, and it matches some suspicious Viagra spam cover name for a suspected cell and there you are!

Is Tom Jones his real name?


p.s. And Candy Crowley is interviewing Asa Hutchinson on CNN...
Asa: "I hope this makes travelers feel safer about traveling."

Ah'll just stay on mah mule.....
